ReplyDeleteFor the USA-France soccer game, it's on TV right now on ESPN. It's also available online at this website address:

As for plank, it is a good workout for your core, it engages the abdominals really well.

Yep- DEFINITELY agree with AM! Great form! I'm also seriously amazed at the way you've managed to master avoiding the pounding by keeping both feet entirely off the ground!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pics. I found a crayfish on the bikepath on my ride the other day. Threw it in my bag to bring home for Max! He loved it:). Come to think of it, I sure hope that baby isn't loose somewhere in my house.
Nice runs! I went to start a RunningAhead account and imagine that......I already had one from 2008 and I logged tons of runs on it. What the heck! I have NO memory of this.
Are those crawdads?? We used to hunt for those when I was a kid in Iowa - I have totally forgotten about those.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great family time you had...and of course I love all the family pictures.
Loving, too, that sheer look of determination on your race photos. Totally BA!
I can't tell you how much my kids love to catch crayfish!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in your race--nice form!
"I believe I can fly ... I believe I can touch the sky!"
ReplyDeleteOR
"Believe it or not, I'm walking on air... I never thought I could feel so free!"
That tree looks like it was born to hold a swing!
"Running on Air"... you are also "floating" in the Boston photograph taken by the church... and you didn't even have a cape on :=)
ReplyDeleteOutstanding fun-day with the family!
